With all this talk about how Andy has progressed, I think Hue deserves more props. He's done a masterful job so far this year of spreading the ball around, changing or ditching routes that often led to INT's, and balancing Gio & Hill. I know it's still early, but I'm already worried we might lose him. I'd hate for Andy to start over in a new system again, right after he really seemed to find his groove.

The Seahawks weren't good, we just recovered from our mistakes. |

Perhaps this isn't a popular opinion, but alas...
Although we had to have an unprecedented comeback for these Bengals, this game should not have even been close. We had stupid holding penalties that killed drives, fumbling issues, and forced throws in the 3rd quarter. The Seahawks didn't play well at all, minus their RB. The Seahawks played horrible defense 3/4 quarters. Their offense was atrocious even without pressure in the first half. My point is, almost every other team in the league would have capitalized on those mistakes and would have had the Bengals by their throats. We almost gave this game away from our own mistakes, and in previous years it would have been a sure loss.
All teams are due for this type of game for at least a couple games a year. This team showed today that they are special, by winning a game where they were making mistake after mistake against a perennial winner. Super Bowl teams win games even when they don't play their best game, something the Bengals haven't done against a good team in a very long time. I'm impressed, and I have no reason to believe that this can't be our year. WHO DEY.

Observations After Week 5 |

First of all, this was one of the more exciting regular season games in a long time...and the ending certainly lived up to the hype. Here are some of the things I'm thinking about, good and bad.
1) This team is battle-tested, and seems to have learned from earlier mistakes. Sometimes, it just takes a while to learn how to navigate the roller-coaster of emotions that comes with the NFL. They've grown up together, and are exorcising past demons.
2) Jeremy Hill's Sophomore slump continues. OK, it was a tough defense to run against...but Gio still seems to be making the most of his opportunities. Is the line just better at ZBS than it is the power run blocking that works for Jeremy better? Is he more hurt than we've been led to believe? I hope he comes around, because 3.3 ypc makes even the BJGE years more attractive by comparison.
3) We have the luxury of two great #2 WR's that have virtually the same stat lines--with the notable exception being MJ's 2 TDs over Sanu's zero to date. Moreover, I don't know how it will work, but I sure hope we can keep both of these guys. Otherwise, we might have to pick a quality WR early in the draft, because you and I both know we aren't bringing a FA in of any substance.
4) If the Steelers can't pull out a victory in SD (tall order), we're poised to run away with the division. 3 up after 5? Yes, thank you!
Oh yeah, WHO DEY!!
What do you think?
